We recently instituted a policy at my company called “No Meeting Wednesdays.” The goal is, whenever possible, to use that day to get into a zone. We took it one step further and encouraged people to work from home, if it makes sense for them. It is still early so the results are not yet in, however, I can tell you from a culture perspective the combination of these two policies have been huge.

One of the rules for No Meeting Wednesdays is having your priorities set before you start your day. The effectiveness of this was written up in the book Scaling Up and also highlighted on Cameran Herold’s blog. However, the challenge is often coming up with your top priorities and then putting them in order.

Recently, we thought of 5 areas to focus on when it comes to developing your priorities for “No Meetings Wednesday”. You can use these to help set-up a similar process at your company. Keep in mind this can be done in baby steps. So if a full day is overwhelming, you can focus for a few hours and allow the rest of the day to go through your normal rhythm.

Below are our Top 5 areas to help you come up with your priorities on a no meeting day:

1. Learn Something New - Read a chapter in a great book, such as Scaling Up. Then create a detailed outline that you can share with others or present in a formal setting.

2. Get More Organized - I don't know about you, but I get more energized when I am organized. In our company there is still a lot of work to do to clean up Google Drive folders and make them more sensible and easier to follow. Maybe that is something you need to focus on too. Or maybe it’s cleaning out your inbox…or setting a blog schedule.

3. CompleteSmall Tasks - It does not have to be so large. It could simply be emailing five customers who wrote positive or negative reviews on your product. Or it could be fixing one page on the FAQ of your website, or cleaning up an email template you sent out to your list. I can go on and on with important small tasks that will move the company forward. See this video in recognizing the power of small things.

4. BeCreative - Oh how I love to be creative. It is the energy that keeps me going. You mix organization and creativity and there is no better place for me. Maybe you want to use this time to write an article for your blog. Maybe you want to work on a new design or product ideas. Creativity is what all great companies crave. If you have an idea to get more customers, make it happen!

5. Execute - You can use this day to actually execute things you have not had time to do. Adding images, updating an important description, reaching out to an important lead. These are things that have been on your to do list for a long time, for whatever reason. Now is the day to cross them off.
